Cartier watches are one of the classic watches that make good additions to your collection. Their watches are historical and they tell a lot of stories.

Watches have evolved over the past years. It was improved to meet the demands of its users. The wristwatch we know today was pioneered by Cartier. It was Louis Cartier who designed the first wristwatch for a pilot friend. In 1904, his friend needed a kind of watch that he can use while on an air flight. The Santos model was then born. It was in the later years that the wristwatches designed by Louis boomed. From then on, Louis Cartier made a commitment to make sophisticated wristwatches and share it to the world.

History of Cartier Watches

Cartier's history was started by a Frenchman named Louis François Cartier, the grandfather, who was an apprentice to Adolphe Picard, a jewelry maker. Soon, the grandfather established his own jewelry business. He passed it to his son, Alfred Cartier. Alfred had three sons named Louis, Jacques and Pierre. The siblings expanded their jewelry shop into a watchmaker's shop. Their perseverance brought fame and money to the family business. The worldwide recognition of their masterpieces was spearheaded by Louis Cartier, the grandson.

Cartier watches made a huge impact to the world. Royalties, aristocrats, businessmen, other rich people were very loyal to these timepieces. Men were not the only patrons; even women grew a large fascination for it which they mostly used as jewelry accessories. These pieces for women were made more elegantly and fashionably.

The famous watch models of Cartier are as follows: Tonneau (1906), Tank (1910), and Tortue (1912). These were still continuously produced even after Louis died in 1942. Thus, Tank Française and Cartier's Privée Collection (1996), Pasha de Cartier (1985), Panthère (1983), and Baignoire (1957) came out. The Pasha, Santos 100, and Roadster were also revived. Here are a few famous models:

The first prototype was given to an American commander general in Europe, John Pershing. Tank Louis Cartier watch is a showcase of balance, strength and elegance.
